I can't tell you what is going on. But I can ask, (a) why are you doingasymmetrical routing in the first place?
For any non-trivial path, it seems to me that asymmetry in forward and return paths is normal. Symmetrical paths are the exception.
From another angle, how can anybody hope to ensure that all forward and return paths are identical when the only exit under their control is the one on the outbound path, at their own border?
